Kids are funny...sometimes...

As I was visiting fifth grade classrooms this morning, two funny things happened. Funny thing number one happened in Mr. C's room. I purposely sat kind of close to my very good friend Marcus. I think I sat a little too close for his comfort. He said to me, "Ummm, Mr. Garcia, not to offend you or anything, but you're giving me goosebumps." I felt like saying back to him, "Well, after all the headaches you've given me, you're lucky you're only getting goosebumps." But I didn't. Too funny. Funny thing number two happened when I was passing room 70. A bunch of Michelle's kids were going back to class after Read 180, I was right behind them. One of the kids was shaking his booty and having a good 'ol time. He had no clue I was right behind him. It turns out he wasn't just shaking his booty at me, he was actually doing some sort of dance. When he realized I was behind him he quickly scampered to the ramp and covered his head with this hoodie. Too funny. He was mortified. I whispered to him, "You never know where I'm going to turn up. Huh?" I saw him later at lunch and he gave me a huge grin. Too funny. I need to get out of the office more.
